Hmmm, are you sure that the second time you booted you used the
new kernel, not your original one? 

[ I don't think Redhat vs.  non-Redhat kernels would make a
difference, but rebooting again certainly shouldn't make a
difference... ]

This is a (non-GTK+-specific) problem with the X shared memory
extension. If you configure GTK+ with the --disable-shm flag,
this should solve the problem for GTK+. (The GTK+ shipped with
RH 5.1 for the Alpha platform is configured in this manner.)

I have a vague memory that this problem may have been fixed
in the 2.1 kernels, but don't trust me on that one.
